Viking folkehøgskole?? Sykt kult!

Hvordan var det å bo ute, hva gjorde dere?

Ja! eg gjekk på Seljord FHS :D (den gode vikingskulen. det finnes ein anna men dei er meir "Vikings" serien en materiell kultur i vikingtida imho)

På grunn av covid måtte me droppa klasseturen til danmark, i stadan budde me ute i april i telemark. Me budde på ein leirstad som skal bli mini viking village, men var ikkje fullført då me var der. Me laga all maten frå bunnen basert på ingredienser tilgjengelig i tidsperioden. Det vart mykje bygg og erter oppi ellers gode gryteretter med noko brød attåd.

Me sov i lintelt med reinsdyrskinn som liggeunderlag. I mitt telt hadde me eit lag bjørkeris under skinnlaget som var mykje mykje betre enn uten. Det vart ikkje 100% historisk då me måtte ha moderne soveposer fordi det var frysande temperaturer om natta og ikkje mykje betre om dagane.

Ellers på linja så handsydde me alle klea våre, spikka redskap, smidde kniver og kroker og sånt, laga glassperler, bronsestøypte, brikkevevde, plantefarga, og sjukt mykje meir eg sikkert ikkje kjem på no.

Folkehøgskular har som regel meir enn ei linje så me budde på skulen med folk som tok ting som musikal, reise, paragliding osv. Blir en del drama når masse ungdommer og unge voksne bur i hus i lag men så lenge du ikkje er rota inn er det oftast underhaldande. Det var og masse jille valgfag. Eg tok blant anna skinfell, brikkevev og kjeramikk.

Nokre highlights:

kniven eg smidde gøymd i slira eg laga.

"my bronze age pony"

skoa mine før eg sydde dei.

ullkjolen eg handsydde + hjelmen og spydet til læraren min.

meg som beføler europas eldste trebygg som ikkje er ei kyrkje.

Делал

[Текст песни «Делал»] [Интро] Ай, ай, ай Да кто же в натуре легенда (Does, spikka does precious) Gakill, spikka, ай [Припев] Я много работал, ночами не спал (Go). Делал (Ай) Увидел возможности, им я сказал (Им): «Hello» (Yes sir) Она спросит меня — Дорогой, где ты был? (Где?) — Бегал (Ай) И я ставлю кубики, строю свой мир — Лег�� (У-у) И время покажет: кто лох, а кто в натуре лега (Ха-а) Время…

So, I was traveling through old favorites photos and came across one where @sexykaworunagisa posits a sci-fi story that busks the trend of “dragons in the past, robots in the future” with the idea of a future full of specially bred dragons.

After seeing this I was reminded of an amazing story I read a few years ago and wanted to tell them about it, but nothing remains of them on tumblr. So, all three of my followers, you have been specially chosen to discover the book series called “The Pit Dragon Chronicles” by Jane Yolen!

It stars a young boy who was debted into slavery alongside his mother who soon died. He works for his freedom at a dragon breeding farm on the planet of Austar IV, a prison-colony-come-planet that is essentially Australia combined with the planet of Gunsmoke from the Trigun series. It’s by an large a sandy wasteland with little bits of depressing forests and scrubland oases (plural for oasis).

Austar IV is pretty much what you’d expect a space Australia to be like if it was from the time period where it was transitioning from prison colony to independent world. There are three known plants and two known animals (well there are seven, but these tree get top billing) the spikka tree which is tall, thin, and rather depressing to look at if you’ve ever seen another type of tree, and two small floodplane weeds, blisterweed and burnwort. Both are somewhat caustic but can be smoked recreationally if a slow descent is in your wheelhouse, but they’re the perfect food for baby dragons! Well, dragons of all ages, really, but there’s an entire arc around raising a baby dragon on the stuff, so sue me. And rounding off the list of Austarian flora and fauna is the only known predator of the dragons. Well, the defenseless babies anyway. The Drakk are large, scentless, black, snake-headed bat creatures that eat eggs and baby dragons, have highly caustic blood, and reek to high heaven when killed.

Without spoiling too much, our main character, Jakkin, discovers a forgotten hatchling that had been miscounted when getting a new mother dragon settled in for the night. Seeing a chance to escape bondage he secrets it away in the frigid night to raise it as his own in the hopes it would succeed in the dragon pits (mostly just blister and threat displays with a few swings here or there, dragons are hard to raise and no ones wasting their hard work by getting their dragon killed) and win him enough money to pay off his debt. And given there’s four books in the series and I still haven’t read the last three, whose to say how successful he is?
